The FBI has proof that the attack at the Capitol on January was planned weeks prior and not incited by the President:
A comment from the National Pulse was, "Written by three non-political reporters, the Washington Post story illustrates just how out of control the blatant misinformation about 'incitement' by the president has been over the past two weeks."
The criminal case being assembled brings charges of conspiracy, destruction of government property, obstruction and more against the defendants.
The affidavit stated, "Evidence uncovered in the course of the investigation demonstrates that not only did CALDWELL, CROWL, WATKINS and others conspire to forcibly storm the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 – the communicated with one another in advance of the incursion and planned their attack."
Such advanced planned undermines Pelosi's claim that the otherwise innocent crowd of rallygoers was "incited" by President Trump to do violence.
And...
In fact, the affidavit explains how some of those doing violence prepared ahead of time, with "helmets, reinforced vests" and more.
It reveals that among the items found in a search of the defendants' homes were "a camouflage hat and jackets; a backpack with medical/PPE supplies; a black tactical kit with medical supplies, radio, mini drone, and pepper spray; a bag containing a helmet and respirators; and a bag containing a helmet, radio, and belt … cellular telephones; numerous firearms, a paintball gun with rubber-steel balls and a cylinder."
The FBI agent explained there were Facebook comments dating back to December 24 about a plan for defendants to meet up. On December 30 a statement said, "This is our call to action … see you on the 6th in Washington…"
In addition, we have participation by an anti-Trumper:
Screenshots from a Discord chat channel allegedly hosted by John Sullivan – a far-left, anti-Trump activist who appears to have incited violence at the U.S. Capitol while posing as a journalist – reveal he and his followers infiltrated the January 6th Save America March in Washington, D.C.
The unearthed screenshots follow Sullivan’s arrest for his role in the Capitol riot, which included calls to violence such as “we gotta get this shit burned” and “it’s our house motherf*ckers,” an affidavit can reveal.
The Discord chat channel is allegedly affiliated with Sullivan’s Insurgence USA group, which describes itself as “forming a rainbow coalition to unite all people under one banner to fight for liberation and freedom for all people.”
“We are the revolution, lets [sic] show them the power of the people united,” the group’s page adds.
The chat logs corroborate the recent federal charge against Sullivan, noting he didn’t attend the riot to “report” but rather to serve as an agent provocateur.
Perhaps we now better understand the Biden's call for uniting is code word for a continuation of the communist revolution in America. Sullivan was also pushing a revolution that included last summer's riots:
Provo police arrested a fourth person Thursday night in connection with the June 29 protest in downtown Provo.
Sandy native John Earle Sullivan, 25, was taken to the Utah County Jail under the suspicion of third-degree felony rioting, class A misdemeanor criminal mischief and class B misdemeanor threat of violence.
According to the affidavit of probable cause filed in support of Sullivan’s arrest, police officers responded to an unlawful protest in downtown Provo on June 29 between the hours of 6 p.m. to 11:45 p.m. The affidavit states the protest was unlawful because the protestors did not obtain a permit for the event.
“One of the organizers of the protest was John Earle Sullivan,” the affidavit reads. “His organization (Insurgence USA) also promoted the event. John Sullivan and Insurgence USA had social media postings promoting other protestors to join them.”
Police allege that Sullivan committed riotous acts as a leader and organizer of the protest by blocking motorists from moving freely on roadways and by damaging vehicles. At one point during the protest, two handguns were brandished by other protestors and two shots were fired by Salt Lake City native Jesse Taggart towards a driver making his way to Home Depot, according to the affidavit.
According to the affidavit, Sullivan conducted a Facebook live broadcast in which he invited demonstrators to join the protest. Additional videos show Sullivan kicking the driver’s side door of a vehicle while yelling expletives and making threats to the driver.
The affidavit states that another video shows Sullivan walking and conversing with Taggart following the shooting.
So who should be held accountable for inciting that violence? Perhaps Kamala Harris:
Kamala Harris praised the “brilliance” and “impact” of Black Lives Matters protests, deeming them “necessary” in comments that led some on social media to slam her as “insane.”
“Nothing that we have achieved that has been about progress, in particular around civil rights, has come without a fight, and so I always am going to interpret these protests as an essential component of evolution in our country — as an essential component or mark of a real democracy,” the California senator said during an interview held as part of the NAACP’s national convention Friday, which was held virtually because of the coronavirus pandemic.
And would a real democracy include elections that are free and fair? Not if you are white:
The logic goes as follows: Trump claimed the election was stolen through fraud and other illegalities. That has not been proven in court and is thus false. People who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and managed to break inside and disrupt the electoral vote counting did so because they believed the election was stolen. Therefore, anybody who questions the legitimacy of the election results is an extremist and potentially a terrorist.
With tens of thousands of troops assembled to guard the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) recently told CNN that all guard members who voted for Trump belong to a “suspect group” that “might want to do something,” alluding to past leaders of other countries who were “killed by their own people.”
Former FBI Director James Comey recently said the Republican party needs to be “burned down or changed.”
“They want a one party state,” commented conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza in a recent podcast. “That is not to say they don’t want an opposition. They want a token opposition. They want Republicans where they get to say what kind of Republican is ok.”
Just as Marx blamed the ills of the world on capitalists and Hitler on Jews, the current regime tends to blame various permutations of “white supremacy.”
“Expel the Republican members of Congress who incited the white supremacist attempted coup,” said Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) in a recent tweet, garnering some 300,000 likes.
She was referring to the Republican lawmakers who raised objections on Jan. 6 to election results in Arizona and Pennsylvania. Their objections were voted down.
“Can U.S. Spy Agencies Stop White Terror?” Daily Beast’s Jeff Stein asked in a recent headline, concluding that a call for “secret police” to sniff out “extremist” Americans “may well get renewed attention.”
Under the regime, allegations of election fraud—de facto questioning the legitimacy of the leader—have become incitement of terrorism. YouTube (owned by Google), Facebook, and Twitter have either banned content that claims the election was rigged or are furnishing it with warning labels. Twitter chief executive Jack Dorsey was recently recorded as saying that banning the president’s account was just the beginning.
The approach closely mirrors that of the Chinese communist regime, which commonly targets dissidents for “subverting” the state or “spreading rumors.”
As I have already noted, "Communist China's Coup d'etat against America's sitting President is called the "Transition Integrity Project", included the plan to deny election fraud at all costs. I for one believe an honest investigation would show that the real misinformation was the denials of election fraud. That way their puppet dictator will be called an elected President working to save democracy. Would one characteristic of a totalitarian regime include lying by calling others liars?
It’s agonizing watching you gnashing your teeth over stuff you have zero control of, Steve.
In 2013 Trump was goaded into politics to destroy the Republican Party. And, had former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton been elected in 2016 Paul Ryan would be president today. Her campaign knew that if Hillary won the rabid Republican House would have impeached her, the Senate would have removed her before the 2018 midterms and Trump would be on the sidelines egging them on. Somebody (Robert Mercer and Cambridge Analytica) promised Paul Ryan the presidency had Clinton been removed and Tim Kaine met an unfortunate end but that all crashed when Trump was installed. There’s no way in Hell the GOP would have given a President Kaine the time to choose a Veep.

Paul Ryan might have even won in 2020. Btw, if polling machines can be hacked to win elections what prevented the Clinton campaign from ensuring she lost in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania in 2016 giving Trump and the GOP all the rope they’re using now to hang themselves

Steve if Joe Biden suffers from a stroke, heart attack and passes on while in office we will be in far more trouble with today's Democratic Party which they should be honest and call themselves Marxists. We were just discussing today over breakfast how it is nice to read civil South Dakota blogs written by South Dakotans that live in the state. No out of state name callers for us! Keep an eye on Kamala Harris!

TD, It is looking like Biden is going hard left in order to avoid assassination, of which would be blamed on Trump. Not my thought, I heard that on the street. I wouldn't say it is true, nor would I rule it out.
And Harris is a Maoist, so you are right. Perhaps that is why Biden picked her, so his family can continue to be bought of by the CCP.
